Good friend in from Colorado at the end of his annual 'month fishing Oregon Rivers.' Joe got to cast these on two of my rods and doing WOOOOZERS!

Made him a very Happy Camper when I handed him a new one I'd gotten from Joni the day before. Loaded that thing the next morning (yesterday) on his 5wt Sage Z-Ax 2hander; took all of 5'ish minutes before "FISH ON!!"

One thing that surprised me was how many experienced fly fishermen were not familiar nor had heard of furled leaders.

I had a leader Joni sent me with a fly swap for probably two years before I tried a furled leader. Even odder is that it was a different leader I tried first. I got one for my 15' two hander because of what Fred Evans had said. Now I use them all the time. It may be like me, they had things that worked for them and were just reluctant to mess with the system they already were used to. I really regret waiting as long as I did to become a convert.
